TODAY'S THOUGHT
Hope is the ability to hear the music of the future.
Faith is having the courage to dance to it today
JUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives
Just for today: I will pay attention to what brings me joy. Doing so can reveal volumes about my right actions and perfect calling

IT’S THURSDAY !!
It’s not finally Friday but it is the last day of my work week. I won’t have a newsletter for you now until Monday. Maybe you might think that’s a good thing anyway.
Don’t forget if you are ever tired of having this sent your way every day just drop me an e-mail saying so and I’ll take you off my mailing list.
Today may bring some rain our way but the next couple of days look to be sunny and quite warm here. Perfect for camping !
This weekend DS#6 and his wife will be driving home from their visit with DS#2. I’ll be praying for a safe trip for them.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY’S PRAYERS

Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their

TODAY’S SMILE
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask "How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?When the day is done,
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die'
Cause you never had time
To call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Was not the hand of the Lord upon him?
Luke 1:66
Today's readings speak of the specific place John the Baptist had in God's plan for the world's salvation. It was prepared for him from the beginning. His was an important one, but it wasn't the only one. He certainly can't do everything that needs to be done for God's plan to be carried out. We each have a place in the way things run
TODAY’S ADVICE
If it rains on June 27th, it will rain for seven weeks
89 DAYS TIL FALL!
Delight yourself in the Lord
and He will give you the desires of your Heart
Psalm 37:4
May there be a miracle in YOUR life today
and may you have the EYES to SEE it!
I Love You All !!!
Be Blessed !!!
